Mercies on Saturday, August 29th: ( I think I'm defining the word 'mercy' very loosely)
Safe trip to the beach! (Although we did have a van get a flat tire. Tragic, but it could've been worse.)
Good conversations in the car with Internationals. We sang American and Indian songs, too :)
Didn't get a bad sunburn.
Did get a cool fish tatoo. Yes. Henna.
Did have an awesome time with Mary Brooke eating ice cream and watching First Daughter.
Mark Blucas.
And now I'm off to a photography training session.

Mercies on Friday, August 28:
Didn't get stuck in the rain, nor did I die trying to drive in it!
I got to go see Up with Debbie.
We got two Route 44 size lime slushes for $1.94 at Sonic. Amazing.
I wasn't late to class! I was totally about to be.
And today I'm going to the beach with International students!!! Woot, I hope it's not too rainy.

Your Mercies are New Every Morning
But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore I will hope in him."
Lamentations 3:21-24
This blog will be a way for me to remember and meditate on how God has had mercy on me. Since His mercies are new every morning, the goal is to also have a new post every morning. I'll keep it short and sweet from next-post on.
God gave me this idea yesterday. Reading through some sermon notes, I came across one from 2 weeks ago that said "Meditate on God's mercies!" in big letters. I thought that was a great idea and wondered how I had forgotten to do that in less than 2 weeks. More aware of His mercies, I found many in my day that I easily might have looked over. So this blog was born. Scratch that--it was already born, now I will just use it.
Mercies on Thursday, August 27:
Even though it was my first lab day, I found the building (which was very far away) and got there on time. And I got to my next class on time. (It was very far away.)
I had a lovely lunch with Brooke, Sarah, and Gina. I even got to see Kelley!
I JUST caught the bus I needed to go babysit. And it's even better that I caught that bus because there was terrible terrible traffic on the beltline.
Babysitting went very well, unlike last week. That was definitely God's hand, because I know some friends were praying.
This is a BIG one. After buying so many textbooks, I knew my account was low. I even worried I had overdrawn it, so I rushed to the bank after babysitting. Arriving 5 minutes before closing time, I deposited the check I had forgotten to pick up from chickfila (another mercy) and the babysitting money. I hadn't overdrawn though. I had about 3 dollars left in my account. OH MY GOODNESS. 3 dollars. Praise God.
And I found out that Allison, Brooke, Gillian, and Jessica are in my D Group! God is good.
Of course these aren't the only mercies. there are many that happen every day (i.e. not crashing the car, not contracting malaria, not being thrown into Hell). This blog is for specific mercies that catch my attention during the day.
Well, it being 11:50 AM, I should probably post this while it is still morning.
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
